#Mac os 10.4 emulator upgrade#
In my original post I mentioned doing it without having to re-compile.Ī more involved test would be the "pull out all the stops" idea of getting a usable version of Linux by "any means possible" including gentoo and re-compiling/optimizing everything (which would probably mean compiling for 2 weeks!).Ī particularly vexing situation I've seen is the old celeron e-machine my wife's parents have sitting idle because it can't upgrade from WinXP. Since we are just talking about web browsing and email, one of the BSD's would probably work better. But if it runs the programs you need it to run, it's better than a lot of alternatives. Sheepshaver is a cool thing when it works, but it barfs on a lot of things, and its integration leaves a lot to be desired.

Besides the fact that Intel Tiger will in fact prevent you from starting Classic, Classic actually runs most of the app's code natively on the CPU, and Rosetta does not run at a level low enough to intercept and translate it (it's a userland QuickTransit, with all the limitations that entails, while Classic has low-level "magic" in the OS to enable it to function).

I have a 10.4 install DVD but it won't boot due to EFI problems.I might fiddle with UNetbootin to override. There aren't many seeders, it looks like this will take about 10 hours. It is not hard to find a bootable MacOS X 1.4.8 Tiger VMware image, I'm downloading it right now. I am going to prove whether or not you can run Classic PPC apps in a VM. Unlike almost everyone on the internet, I know when it is time to put up or shut up. I have Sheepshaver running on my Mac mini, it runs but it is basically useless since it won't run graphic-intensive games like Carmageddon. I stuck with PPC for ages, my last PPC was a PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5Ghz and my first Intel Mac was my current Mac mini mid-2011. I run it headless, I can run it remotely with screen sharing from Back To My Mac. So it's been a long time since I ran Classic, even though I have a PowerMac G4 dual 1Ghz MDD "Wind Tunnel" sitting right next to me with 10.4 installed. My first distro was MKLinux DR3 on a Beige G3 (233 MHz)įollowed by LinuxPPC 1999 and then Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 and finally Fedora.

Linux worked very well on Apple PowerPC hardware but I don't know that any mainstream distributions still maintain 32 bit PPC builds. How easy would it be to make a chromecast bullet proof system on a really old PC or Mac? I know there is "cloudready" and ars wrote about that, but what about a REALLY old system? Being able to load some version of Linux that will get updates (security and otherwise) and continue to work for a while (say 5+ years?) reasonably is a pretty good thing when all they really are interested in is mail and browsing. It's not unusual for the Grandparents to have a computer for a LONG time.
I know Linux works well on older hardware, but I've not REALLY tried to to do the "old computer" Linux thing in a while. Is it possible to take an old G3 that will not work with OS9, load it up with a distro that it works with and be able to work reasonably (say, without having to re-compile everything?) Have fun looking for a new computer.I think more interesting would be to see how useful Linux can be on older systems like that G3. My opinion is is that it is not a good time to buy a PC at the moment, as a new OS for the PC is just around the corner which requires heaps of RAM, so I chose a Mac for this reason also. I am a Multimedia student and my EMac handles Dreamweaver, Flash, Premiere etc with ease. Macs used to be more expensive to buy than PC's but now I think sometimes they work out cheaper. I bought my EMac for around US$1000 which is a good price for a machine with a DVD burner that runs OSX 10.4.2. I don't want to get into a slagging match with PC users but I have always preffered Macs for their ease of use. If you buy a Mac Mika you won't regret it.

The best website for Mac emulation is but it seems to be down at the moment. As far as emulators that work with OSX, Frodo 4.3.5 is native to OSX as far as I'm aware and that's the C64 emulator that I use the most. At the moment I am still using Macs and have a new Emac with a superdrive I bought last month and using OSX 10.4.2 TIGER. How are you going old mate? I have moslty always been a Macintosh user and migrated to Mac after my Amiga 1000 back in the 80's.
